SHAVERS perfumed; electric razor for Probe Would Give Ike Prestige on Europe-Asia Trip Cape Canaveral, Fla. -(UPD-Scientists are preparing this nation's final 1959 space rock et for a mid-December shot de scribed as one of the biggest yet undertaken by the United States. If all goes as planned, the shot into deep space will give President Eisenhower's Euro pean and Asian tour which starts Thursday - the same kind of prestige that Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev got from the Russian moon shot before his trip to the United States. Not As Powerful America's last big chance for 1959 rests with a Thor Able IV rocket,' only one-fifth as powerful as the big Russian space rockets. The Thor-Able will carry a small payload which scientists hope will escape earth's grav ity and cross into the orbit of the planet Venus. The . man made planetoid will carry a radio "voice" to send back in formation from as far away as 50 million miles. This is more than 100 times farther than America's one sun satellite, Pioneer IV launched last March 3, was able to transmit. Russia also has one satellite in orbit around the sun, Lunik I launched Jan. 2, 1959. To Relay Information The probe will study com munications at interplanetary ranges in preparation for later shots to Venus and Mars. It al so will relay information about conditions in space such as solar radiation. Beyond the deep-space probe, America's space, re search future is a bit clouded. Critics of this country's cur rent progress in the space race are putting pressure on the administration for a speedup, and at least one administra tion official hinted last week end that the , government is considering another attempt to orbit the moon soon. Kennedy Sees Importance of 1960 Election Cheyenne,' Wyo. -(UPI)- Sen. John Kennedy (D-Mass.) said Sunday that the 1960 presi dential election might become more important to the nation than the 1932 victory of Franklin D. Roosevelt. " "In 1932, the security of the country depended on the election of a Democratic presi dent," he said. "In I960, the election of a Democratic pres ident involves the cause of freedom around the world." Soviet May Outstrip U. S. Kennedv told a Democratic Party reception here the So viet union may outstrip tne United States within the next. decade if a Republican admin istration is returned to the White House next year. "In the next 10 years, un less we bring some sense into our farm policies, the Soviet Union may outproduce us in food and find some better way of distributing it to a hungry world," Kennedy said. "By 1975 the Soviet Union may outproduce us in hydro electric power. Works To Discredit "Every time the Soviets are first, whether thev are firot in education, hydro-electric pow er, space, or food, it augments the totalitarian svstem anri works to our discredit." At a news conference Sun day, Kennedy said he thought the 80-day back to work pro vision of the Taft - Hartley law was a "one-sided tool" which broke the steel strike at a crucial time for manage ment. Kennedv said he thought the industry was reluctant to bargain because it felt an in junction would be issued. , Girls Found Safe At Multnomah Falls Multnomah Falls -(UPD- Twn teen-age girls, sjxanded all nignt in rugged cliff terrain near scenic Multnomah Falls in near-freezing temperatures, were located safe by a search party about dawn today.

Brent, 19, and his wife, Renae, 17, were given a $1,000 check for their testing of the shelter. Their only links with the outside world were a telephone, a battery-powered radio and a battery-operated television set. - (UPI Telephoto) Couple Completes 2 Weeks in Atomic Fallout Shelter Downey, Calif. -flJPD- A 19-year-old youth and the teen age bride he married Nov. 14 start today their first full week of married life above ground. They spent the first two weeks of marriage in an 8 by 8 foot underground atomic fall-out shelter. Brent and Renae Parker emerged from the shelter Sat urday, blinking in the bright sunlight and a little paler, but apparently none the worse for their experience. Cooking Difficult ' "It wasn't too bad," smiled Renae.. "The only difficult thing wa cooking." She had to prepare their meals on a hot plate, and she admitted, they had overeaten the stored groceries so that their last two days in the shelter they were without ' meat. They had to eat fruits and vegetables the last 48 hours, they said. Congressman Chet Holifield (D - Calif.), chairman of a House subcommittee of radia tion, was on hand to meet the couple and inspect the small family shelter with reporters and civil defense officials. Renae caused some concern among civil defensemen when she reported by telephone sev eral days after entering the shelter that dust was sifting into the concrete bunker. Dust after an atomic attack prob ably wquld carry deadly radi ation and imperil inhabitants of shelters if it seeped in. Doubts Dust Harmful Holifield said he found some dust on an air intake ventila tion pipe, but he said he doubted the amount would be harmful to occupants even if it El it O had been contaminated. They were locked in the shelter for the full length of time, and when they emerged they received a $1,000 check for their ordeal from a finance company which built the shel ter to see whether a couple could actually live in it.

Decrease 'Insignificant' Only a decrease in "crimes against property such as lar cenies, burglaries and auto thefts offset the increase in crimes against person s," Hoover said.
